"Don't be poor!" Jessica glanced at Cao Ke angrily, and then said thoughtfully: "This kind of monster ...... If my guess is correct, it should be a source beast called 'Lava Beast', which has always liked to haunt and live near magma, and is especially good at teamwork and predation, and is a bottom-type species that is not very strong individually......"

Speaking of this, Jessica's tone changed, and she continued with some doubts: "But these lava beasts that you and I encountered today are not only much larger than the legendary ones, but their strength is basically equivalent to that of a mid-level cultivator in the thirties and forties...... That's the ultimate crux of the matter I didn't figure out!"

Cao Ke smiled disappreciatively and said, "What is there to worry about? Perhaps, this lava beast is just like the snow gall ice toad we met a few days ago, it has been cultivating for a long time, and its size and strength are naturally taller and stronger than ordinary people of the same kind!"

Jessica thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "It's not that simple! Although the source beast is a specialty of the continent of Semir, the number of source beasts is not much, and under the squeeze of the major racial forces, the living space of the source beast is also gradually shrinking, so in the past few hundred years, it has been difficult for people to see the figure of the source beast anymore, let alone those high-level source beasts that have cultivated to a high level, and its cherishment, even if it is described as rare, it is by no means an exaggeration!"

"However, this time we came out to follow the dragon clan, and after approaching the Orange Plains, we actually encountered the source beast twice, and the source beast we encountered on these two occasions was either extremely cultivated or had some mutations...... There must be some kind of underlying connection here!"

Cao Ke waved his hand and said, "Okay, why do you waste your brain cells for these irrelevant beasts? Our main target this time is the dragon clan! This is what we need to know and explore the most now...... According to my estimate, this day, it will be light, if we don't return soon, we will have to run into the dragon clan!"

"Hmm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Jessica replied softly, briefly collected her mood, and then prepared to walk to Cao Ke's side and leave the valley with Cao Ke.

But at the moment when Jessica just turned around, her eyes inadvertently swept to the magma pit where she had fallen into the magma pit that she had fallen into, at this time, there was naturally no more magma in this magma pit, and the bottom of the pit was completely exposed to the air.

This magma pit is seven or eight meters deep, and what makes Jessica feel a little strange is that the shape of this magma pit is not the normal shape of the bottom of a pot, but a shape closer to the shape of a colander, the four walls are smooth as a mirror, and the oblique straight towards the center of the bottom is gathered, and at a glance, it looks a little like a huge cone, drilled upside down into the ground.

"Huh?" Jessica seemed to have discovered something, and leaned down, crouched on the edge of the magma pit, and looked directly at the bottom of the pit.

Cao Ke had summoned a unicorn fireball here, ready to use its lighting to climb the rock, and hurried back to his camp, but Jessica squatted down without warning, and Cao Ke naturally stopped what he was doing.

"Ah, I'm talking little Kaka!" cried out Cao Ke impatiently, "What are you still grinding there? ”

Jessica turned her head and beckoned to Cao Ke with a very excited expression: "Cao Ke, come and take a look, the magma in this magma pit is gone, you can see the bottom at a glance!"

Cao Ke's face was bitter when he heard this, and he had no choice but to take a step forward and walk towards Jessica, and as he walked, he couldn't stop complaining: "Little Kaka, I know you're amazing! The moment you jumped out of this magma pit just now, you have already shaken all the magma in the pit away! Without the magma, the bottom of the pit will naturally be exposed! I admit that your strength is not enough? But we have to get out of here now, if we don't leave, we really can't ...... come."

Before he finished speaking, he came to an abrupt end, because Cao Ke also came to the edge of the magma crater, and also clearly saw the bottom of the magma pit.

"This ...... This ......" Cao Ke snorted in surprise for a long time, and there was no reason for "this", but Jessica, who was squatting on the side, raised her hand to the bottom of the magma pit and said with a smile: "See, what is that little cave-like place for?"

Looking in the direction Jessica pointed, I saw that at the bottom of this inverted cone-shaped magma pit, a swarthy cave was constantly emitting a trace of heat outward! This cave is not large, the diameter is only about one meter, but the depth of this cave is unknown, because from Cao Ke's position at this time, it seems that the red of magma is constantly shining in the extreme depths of the cave!

After observing for a long time, Cao Ke turned his head and asked Jessica, "Little Kaka, you don't think that this cave is connected to the real source of magma, do you?"

"Clever!" Jessica snapped her fingers excitedly: "It turns out that when you and I first arrived at the bottom of this valley, we could only see patches of ice and patches of magma, but we couldn't see the ice and what was under the magma, so we should take it for granted that these ice and magma originally existed there, so we ignored their real sources!"

Cao Ke frowned slightly and said: "Now, because of your unintentional actions, the magma in this magma pit has dissipated, and the bottom of the pit is exposed in front of our eyes, judging from the shape of the bottom of this pit, it is not like the kind of container responsible for carrying magma, but more like an exhaust pipe! The small cave at the bottom is the passage connecting the real source of the magma and the surface, and the real source of the magma is to rely on these small caves and this cone-shaped magma pit to discharge the excess magma to the surface!"

"Exactly!" Jessica took Cao Ke's words again and said, "If we refer to the preliminary judgment you made when you first saw the strange environment of this ice and fire, can we conclude that there is still an independent huge space under the ground at the bottom of this rift......

"Finally, the huge independent space underground was filled with the energy that erupted from the confrontation between ice and fire, and there was no choice but to evacuate the energy to the surface to maintain the continuous stability of the underground space......"

"And this magma pit in front of us is a channel used by the underground space to evacuate the magma energy! These ice and magma all over the valley floor are the excess energy emitted by the confrontation between the ice and fire sides of the underground space!"

After the two of them finished analyzing like this, they looked at each other for a long time, and Cao Ke swallowed a mouthful of spit with great difficulty, looked at Jessica and said meaningfully: "Little Kaka, doesn't this judgment and conclusion of ours sound a little fanciful?"

Jessica shook her head firmly and said, "No! Isn't this strange phenomenon here exactly in line with our judgment? I think that even if the facts are a little different from our judgment, they will definitely not be too different...... Actually, it's easy for us to figure out this matter, I think the small cave at the bottom of this pit should be enough for a person to pass through easily, let's climb down this small cave and see, won't the answer to everything be clear?"

"Climb...... Climb down?" Jessica's bold proposal was obviously far beyond Cao Ke's expectations: "Little Kaka, you elves, are you all as bold as you think of something and do something? Climb down? At the bottom of this small cave, if there is really the independent space we imagined, the temperature inside is definitely not comparable to the bottom of this valley!"

"If you think about it, even the excess energy emitted by them can form such a drastic temperature change at the valley floor, if you and I go directly into that space, it will be unimaginable!"

Jessica glanced at Cao Ke with some disdain and some disdain, and said: "Don't you humans have a famous saying?' If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger', there are some things, if you don't take some risks, there is no way to uncover the truth! For example, the dragons, maybe they didn't think that there was a cave under the ice and magma, maybe they thought of it, but they didn't dare to go down inside in person like you, that's why they came here for such a long time, and they still found nothing!"

"And don't forget, Cao Ke, the dragons are attracted by the vision of the valley floor, and maybe their real purpose is hidden in this underground space!

Jessica said this, Cao Ke was really a little moved by her, after all, the ultimate purpose of Cao Ke's trip was to find a way to figure out the true intentions of the dragon clan, and now, a great opportunity was placed in front of him, to say that he was not tempted, it was pure falsehood!

However, the things that Cao Ke considered were obviously much more comprehensive and complete than Jessica, and first, this conclusion of the underground space was just a judgment between him and Jessica, and whether it really existed was still between the two theories.

Second, there is the urgency of time, after dawn, the next wave of dragon search teams will land at the bottom, and if Cao Ke and Jessica don't leave immediately, there will be a great risk of exposing their whereabouts.

Three, it is the uncertainty of the underground space, even if the underground space really exists, but as Cao Ke said, the danger level in it is definitely not low, they want to go in, are they ready to resist the unknown risks inside?

As for the end, of course, it is the members of the Killing Star and the Wood Spirit who stay on the side of the Great Rift Valley, Cao Ke and Jessica will not return overnight, it is impossible for everyone not to worry, once they can't hold their breath and rashly run down the Great Rift Valley to find it, the result is also what Cao Ke does not want to see......
